Here are a few Christmas/Holiday cards for you to enjoy:
Stamps: Silent Night, Peaceful Forest
Ink: Nutmeg, Memento Cocoa, Cherry
Paper: Kraft, Cherry
Schtuff: French Roast Twine
This card is a total CASE from the Annual Catalog...I LOVE this card and just had to make one for myself!
Stamps: Winter Stag
Ink: Fern, Seattle, Slate
Paper: Sugar
Schtuff: Cherry Twinkles, Cherry Polka Dot Organdy Ribbon
This card got a lot of ooh's and ahhh's when displayed at my classes but the photo doesn't do it any justice. I stamped the Starry Night background with Versamark and embossed with Diamond EP...it's very twinkley in real life.
Stamps: Silent Night, Starry Night
Ink: Eucalyptus, Versamark
Paper: Eucalyptus, Winter Sky
Schtuff: Diamond Embossing Powder, Heat Gun
The currently popular chalkboard technique is simply Versamark heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock. You can add "eraser marks" by smudging a couple of spots with a light colored ink (such as Lemon Whip) with a sponge or pouncing our static magic in a few places as well. However I decided to not add any smudges on this card because I sometimes like to wipe my slate clean - snort!
Stamps: Mad for Plaid, It's a Wonderful Life, Holiday Tags
Ink: Versamark, Memento Black, Cherry, Evergreen
Paper: Cherry, Evergreen, Onyx, Sugar
Dies: Scallop Borders set
Schtuff: Copics R29 & YG67, Cherry Stitched Grosgrain ribbon, white EP
Pretty & Pink Christmas tree made by stamping tree with Blush ink then pouncing on Shimmer Chalk with a sponge dauber. Quick and easy "wow"...the shimmery wow part looks so much better IRL.
Stamps: Winter Stag
Ink: shell or blush either will work, Seattle
Paper: Shell & Sugar
Schtuff: Shimmer Chalks, Silver Elastic Cording, Sponge Dauber
Brrrr! Okay, living in Florida I have to use my imagination when it comes to being cold. So I die cut my snowman coated him with Versamark and heat embossed with Diamond EP. The sentiment was heat embossed with white EP. Love using our Navy polka dot cardstock for the "snowy" background.
